Good quality watch, I liked it because its simplistic but looks great and would go with most things. The only thing is that it is quite hard to tell the time in certain light due to the hands also being black. It was good to see it came with spare links just in case, which is always handy if youre buying for someone else. Overall very happy with the product, stylish, simple and great quality!

I have now owned the Nixon Cannon for two weeks so thought I should give some first impressions.

The weight of the watch is nice. It is not uncomfortably heavy but definitely does not go unnoticed on my wrist, but personally this is reassuring and feels comfortable. The picture on the website does not do the blackness justice, as it is actually very dark and looks brilliant. The minimalist design compliments the colour well and I have had more than a few compliments on the watch already. It looks very smart but is great for everyday use. The build quality is very good and it is definitely a sturdy watch.

The main drawback of the watch is that the hands are actually very dark in relation to the back of the watch which makes it hard to read the time in low light, but I have started to get used to it. Also the front gets marks very easily so I’ve had to wipe it off fairly often. When getting a link removed the people at Timpson said it was a bit harder because it is a ceramic watch, but it still only took ten minutes so very painless.

The item is quite sturdy (I understand the name 'cannon' now) and looks even better up-close and in person. The photograph on the site doesn't do it justice, as the black is much more striking and whilst it has a bulky tank-like aesthetic, it is certainly not as big as I expected, so you can wear it with ease without worrying about dislocating your wrist.

However, due to the entirety of the watch being black, it's quite hard to see the time in darker places, such as in bed or at the cinema, not that you'd really need to. I also find myself obsessing over wiping dust and whatnot off, so if you have any OCD tendencies, beware that having a black watch magnifies this issue.

Ok watches...watches..watches for years I have wanted one but always found that the ones I like are either too expensive or not perfect color,By looking around desperate to fill the empty slot on my arm I stumbled over the Nixon cannon in gun-metal color and took an interest in it straight of first sight. So I tried it on, It fitted perfect with stock links attached (comes with 3 spare ) but cost £120 RRP every where, Whilst looking I noticed the other colors available and decided I found the black a lot more fetching and my girlfriend agreed, Then I found watch shop selling the same item but for only £114 that was it an amazing deal so I ordered it straight away arriving in 1 working day like stated, the watch has been on my wrist ever since its beautiful. the face is black with a dark red tint/shine in the right light, The arms are clear and have a striking white line up them, Each pegs is easy to read with no big cluttered numbers, The watch head is a good medium size not so big that it restricts your wrist you can feel the weight of the watch on your wrist, But in a way that you know it is well put together. A very good casual watch its 100m water-resistant and comes with a 2 year guarantee what more can you ask for it ticks all the boxes : )
